Late February freeze

Snow around Berkhamsted

03/03/2018

Late February freeze

Exceptionally cold weather affected all of the UK between February 26th and March 2nd and in much of the country heavy snow brought disruption. Despite the lengthening days and strengthening sun several ice days were recorded even in lowland southern England. Towards the end of the period Storm Emma pushed up from the southwest and brought blizzards to Wales, parts of western England and Ireland. Locally in Wales level snow depths of 50cm were recorded and strong winds whipped up huge drifts.
